The current occupant of our White House produces national news that is so blatantly filled with lies, deceit and racist remarks that I believe the National Institutes of Health should issue a health alert. I strongly suspect that this "fake news" is having a negative impact on a number of folks’ mental, emotional and physical well-being. It touches me to my very core.

In the beginning, (no biblical inference) we were told that the swamp in Washington would be drained. Rather, a huge oligarchy has been assembled, creating and issuing policies that are building blocks to a fascist state, creating fear, based on fictional, off-the-cuff information. Check the actual data and look for parallels in German history between 1920 and 1936. A picture is being painted today that is totally un-American.

It frightens me when I think about the possible endgame and in particular, when there is little if any opposition from our leader's political party. I love reading history but attempting to relive it disgusts me. At my age, it is extremely difficult to walk backward. It's tough enough moving forward.
